| Availing herself of a
bottle of rum, Vicky is blissfully unaffected by the tense atmosphere permeating
this, the third and final orchestra rehearsal before the show. |
|
 |
| There's only so much
one can improvise, before the seams show. Backstage, a disappointing
desklamp fails to substitute for a floodlight and a gel. |
|
 |
| It's show time
and the ladies do look lovely. Not that the show goes off without
a hitch, but perseverance and that certain dreadful tenacity sees them
through. |
|
 |
| And memorable moments
do emerge. Some are silly, but others, like this scene between Don
Carlo and Queen Elizabeth is nothing short of operatic. |
